Answer:

A principal quantum number refers to the energy level of the orbital.

Explanation:

A principal quantum number refers to the energy level of the orbital, the first level being the one with the lowest energy. This orbital refers to the average distance of the electron to the nucleus, this mean when the principal quantum number increases the energy of that orbital increases too but the probability of finding the electron near the nucleus decreases.

This quantum number can take positive integers from 1 to 7

this represents the relative overall energy of each orbital, and the energy of each orbital increases as the distance from the nucleus increases

What is the pOH of 0.50 molar H3BO3?

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

A. 10.25

Explanation:

Pkb =4.77

So pka = 14 - pka = 9.23

$Ka =10^{-pka}$

$H_3 BO_3 (aq)+ H_2 O(l) H_2 BO_3^- (aq)+H_3 O^+ (aq)$

Initial 0.50M 0 0

Change -x +x +x

Equilibrium 0.50M-x +x +x

$Ka =\frac {((x)(x))}{(0.50M-x)}$

$5.88\times10^{-10}= \frac {x^2}{(0.50M-x)}$

(-x is neglected) so we get

$5.88\times10^{-10}\times0.50=x^2\\\\x^2=2.94\times10^{-10}$

$x=\sqrt{x^2}=1.72\times10^{-5} M=H^3 O^{+}$

$pH=-log[H^3 O^+]\\\\pH=-log[1.72\times10^{-5}]\\\\pH=4.76$

pOH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 4.76

pOH = 9.24 is the answer

Option A - 10.25 is the answer which is close to 9.24

What is the representative particle for an element?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The representative particle for an element is AN ATOM.

Explanation:

Representative particle of a substance refers to the smallest unit of that substance, which can not be broken down into smaller particles. The representative particles of an element is an atom, because each element is made up of atoms, which are the smallest unit of that element; they can not be broken down further.

A representative particle is chemically identical with the parent element and will have all the properties of the parent element.

What is paper chromatography? Calculate the Rr value of a colored dye that traveled 52 mm on a chromatography strip while the so

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consist in the separation of the mixe components using a solvent.

Explanation:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consists in the separation of the mixed components using a solvent.

Paper chromatography consists of put some dot of the mix using a glass capillary into a specialized paper, generally made of cellulose, this is called a stationary phase.

Then you put this paper into a camera of glass named, chromatography camera, where previously contain a solvent. The solvent also know as a mobile phase, the type can be defined before the test and involves a study of the kind of the mix, and the compound you want to separate.

The chromatography camera has to be closed all the time during the test, and you can't move at all because the movement of the solvent can alternate the result.

Very often, the solution of the solvent is a mix of different liquid substances with different polarities.

When the stationary phase put into the camera, the solvent starts to move up over the paper, until the separation of the compounds is observable.

the Rf is a value who relates the move of the mobile phase with the move of the distance traveled by the substance tested.

To undersant the paper chromatography, you can watch the images attached.

The first is an image of the chromatography camera.

The second one is an image of a cellulose paper after the chromatography is done. You can watch the dots who indicates the traveling of the compound across the paper.

The third one can show you the evolutions of paper chromatography, from the beginning to the end.

To calculate the Rf value you have to use the equation:

Rf = distance traveled by the substance/distance traveled by the solvent/

Rf = 52mm/81mm =0.64

Which of the mechanical waves below has the greatest energy?

Volgvan

Answer:

Blue wave.

Explanation:

The energy of a wave depends on its amplitude. A wave having more amplitude will have greatest energy while a wave having small amplitude will have least energy.
The given figure shows four waves that are shown with green, orange, blue and red color.
It is very clear from the figure that the amplitude of blue wave is greatest of all the wave.
Hence, blue wave will have greatest energy.

When a horn is moving away from an observer the sound waves from it will pass by the observer____ frequently, causing the pitch

xxMikexx [17]

The answer: less frequency, causing the pitch to be lowered.

This is known as the Doppler effect. When you have an object that is producing sound while moving, the side that it is moving towards to will have waves that will become a bit more squished together, while the other side that it is moving away from will have waves that are spaced a bit more apart from each other. The only determining factor in this is the magnitude of the speed, so the faster the object is moving towards or away from you, then the more severe pitch change the object will have.
In this case, it's just asking in general what would happen if the horn was moving away from you while it was giving off sound waves. Therefore, since it is moving away from you, its sound waves are a bit further apart, resulting in a lowered frequency and pitch.
